Good morning everyone,

Sage & citrus

Sandalwood & ginger apple

Thanks Jami.

I was thinking about doing the cookies n cream with no color but want to make sure that is what everyone is doing.

Good morning everyone,

Can anyone tell me what color they use for cookies n' cream and pralines n cream?? thanks.

Thanks Amber. I might try to check this company out and see if i like the wax. Hopefully i wont make to much of a mess of it.

Do you know a supplier that sales a 10lb sample? I get all my stuff from Lonestar and they only have a 25 lb bag. I thought i might get something smaller since i am just trying it out.

I want to give it a try but i dont want to have to clean up a big a mess because i am working out of an apartment but my soy is giving me problems.

Is this a slab form or how is is packaged? right now i am using c-3 soy and i like it because it is flake form but i am having alot of trouble with frosting and rough tops.

Indy Girl,

Do you have a big problem with it being messy?

Thanks!! I will check these out to see if it will help me make a decision.

Good morning,

Has anyone used this wax before for container candles?

IGI-4627 (Comfort Blend)

Lonestar Candle

I just made a candle last night scented with Fresh cut grass!! disgusting

I have started pouring my C-3 at a little below 150 and i am still getting a little frosting around the rims of the jars. Does anyone know how to prevent that?

Good evening everyone,

Anyone in Texas enjoying all these storms???

Anyways, to the point. Does anyone know how to make swirl candles?

Thanks Wader.

Good to see someone else in TX is having the same problem. Its not a good thing but at least i know i am not the only one struggling. I hope it gets better soon.

Thanks everyone. I have used the hot glue gun and the glue dots from Lonestar and I have had floating wicks from both. It hasnt been a huge problem until today. I guess it is the Texas weather!! I had 4 float on me today!!!!

Can someone help me ASAP please????

I am making some candles right now and i am having problems with my wicks lifting when i go to put the wick bars in place. i heat my containers but i just tried one cool and it did the same thing!! any advice?? please help me!!!

thanks everyone for their feedback. I will try to get a heat gun ASAP to see if it helps me out.

So if candles get sink holes or if they frost on top a heat gun will fix that completley?

Cool. Thanks everyone. i need one to top off of some of my candles since i am a rookie.

Any ideas on where to get a good (but not too expensive) heat gun?
